Agios Nikolaos is the capital of the Prefecture of Lassithi  and combines a cosmopolitan atmosphere, in a small town setting, an incredibly charming and very picturesque port, a high tourist infrastructure with many restaurants, shops, exciting and lively nightlife, and plenty of cultural events.
A notable feature of the town is the small lake (Voulismeni) in the center of the town (said to be bottomless, though actually about 60 meters deep) which has been connected to the sea and is crossed by a small bridge.
Also the beach at Kitroplatia is one of the few in Crete to provide a town-centre-by-the-sea beach location, together with restaurant & caffees.
Agios Nikolaos is 65 Km from the main Airport in Crete in Heraklion. A bus connection is available. Buses run every 30 minutes from 08:15 until 20:30. Later there are buses at 21:30 and 22:30
